We look at the division of 278545 by 6 
Our goal is to divide 278545 by 6.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 6

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 6, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 24 from 27, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 6

Advancing to step 3:
38 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 36 from 38, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
25 divided by 6 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 464.0
Subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
14 divided by 6 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4642.0
If we take 12 away from 14, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 6

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 25 by 6, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46424.0
If we subtract 24 from 25, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
10 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46424.1
If we subtract 6 from 10, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46424.16
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46424.166
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 46424.166 with a remaining 0.0004.
